wow

How did they get away with that

AH

I LOVE THIS

What do you mean how did they get away with it?

History isn’t one straight line progressing towards a liberal society.

Look how much Americans attitudes have changed between 1980 and today. 1980 was the first time most very religious people voted, they abstained before that at the behest of their churches. Now they dictate policy at every election.

In my family photo album there are pictures from the 20s of a woman called ‘uncle bob’. She dressed in men’s clothing, and had a ‘companion’. This was a rough industrial town, they were working class, nobody cared. It was her business.

This is why politics is important - the moment you think everything is better today than it was in the past, you let other people take control of the direction society goes in - with you sitting back presuming we’re going forwards.

what’s wrong with boobs anyway?  our culture demonizes, sexualizes, and stigmatizes what would otherwise be just another neutral body part.

FREE THE BOOBIES

See, this is why I can’t bring myself to dislike the vlog diaries. It might spark someone’s interest and make them read the books! Or other books!

First try at double sided knitting!

Why do we have to ‘LIKE’ characters in order enjoy a novel? Jane Austen was perfectly capable of creating heroines and heroes who are generally liked by most people. Ever think that she made Fanny and Edmund harder to like for a reason? Perhaps she was writing her most powerful satire against 18th/19th-century conservative agenda?

Seriously, like Prudie says in The Jane Austen Book Club, we’re not voting for prom queen here.
